Hi list,
since recent releases obviously it is possible to build an array and
partition that instead of building an array out of partitions. This was
somehow confusing but it worked in the first place. Now I moved the
array from one machine to another and... now it gets somehow strange. I
have nothing in /dev/md/ but /dev/md0. If I do fdisk -l it lists the
partitions /dev/md0p1 to /dev/md0p4, set to type 83 but there are no
devices under /dev/ or in /proc/partitions for them. I've read the
archives and googled around but there was no real solution just
different meanings on how it should be and how such things come. I'd
really appreciate a definite answer how that should work with
partitionable arrays and in best cases, what my problem may be here :)
At the end of this mail are the mdstat and mdadm outputs for reference
I'm not sure you have a problem, if this whole thing works correctly.
However, there has been discussion about the implications of using whole
drives instead of partitions to build your array. Having avoided that
particular path I'm not going to rehash something I marginally
understand, but some reading of post in the last few months may shed
understanding.
